<p><b>To use Advanced Search </b>

<ol>
  <li>Click the Search button in the Panagon IDM toolbar. </li>
  <li>Choose a document class from the Advanced Search drop-down menu at the top of the
    screen. The document class determines the document properties on which you search.</li>
  <li>Create search conditions by selecting properties and operators from the drop-down menus,
    and typing values into the edit boxes.</li>
  <li>Use the Boolean AND and OR operators to link multiple search conditions. All search
    conditions linked by the AND operator must be true for the search to return a match. Only
    one of the search conditions linked by the OR operator must be true for the search to
    return a match. </li>
  <li>If you want to search for text within documents, enter the search text in the Document
    Contains field. </li>
  <li>Choose the sort order. </li>
  <li>Click the Search button on the page. The Web server retrieves a list of documents that
    match the query parameters. </li>
</ol>

<p><b>Using AND and OR </b></p>

<p>To illustrate how multiple conditions are linked by AND and OR, consider some examples
in which C1 is search condition 1, C2 is search condition 2, and so on. </p>

<p>A search defined as<br>
C1 AND C2 OR C3<br>
Returns all items that satisfy (C1 and C2) plus all the items with (C3).</p>

<p>A search defined as<br>
C1 OR C2 AND C3<br>
Returns all items that satisfy (C1) plus all the items with (C2 AND C3).</p>

<p>A search defined as<br>
C1 AND C2 OR C3 AND C4<br>
Returns all items that satisfy (C1 and C2) plus all the items with (C3 AND C4)</p>

<p><b>To use Simple Search</b> 

<ol>
  <li>Click the Search button in the Panagon IDM toolbar. </li>
  <li>Type search information in one or more of the fields. </li>
  <li>Choose the sort order. </li>
  <li>Click the Search button on the page. The Web server retrieves a list of documents that
    match the query parameters. </li>
</ol>

<p>In the returned list of documents, you can choose a single document for viewing, or you
can choose a list of documents.</p>
